Ingredients
Bar Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup dates, soaked 30 minutes and drained
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 1/3 cup almond or cashew butter
- 1/4 cup coconut milk or almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
White Chocolate Drizzle
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a 7 x 5-inch loaf pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting.Place all base bar ingredients in a food processor and process until mixture becomes a sticky dough. Be careful not to over process as its nice to have texture variance and different sized “bits” in your protein bars.Press mixture firmly into the prepared tin, smoothing the top.Place in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up then carefully remove from the tin and cut into 8-10 bars.
White Chocolate Drizzle
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 15 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.Once melted drizzle over the bars using a spoon or cut the corner off a Ziplock bag and pipe the white chocolate for a more professional finish.Refrigerate for at least 1- 2 hours until set.Store in fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
